http://www.kink.fm/white-vinegar-love/#commentsTue, 31 Mar 2015 13:14:48 +0000http://www.kink.fm/?p=2017White vinegar is an all-around all-star when it comes to cleaning around the house. It’s anti-microbial and an all-natural disinfectant, from unclogging drains to cleaning windows, it’s a must have around the house. But here’s something else it can do. It can clean cloudy stemware. Just soak a towel in vinegar and wrap it around stemware and in a few hours, the grime can be wiped away with ease.

The film tells the story of a community’s fight to save public land for urban farming. 200 farmers staged a protest near Oakland, California, not carrying signs but rather tents, tools and 15,000 seedlings. Director Todd Darling will be on hand Thursday night to answer questions.

http://www.kink.fm/fix-a-leak-week/#commentsThu, 26 Mar 2015 17:17:49 +0000http://www.kink.fm/?p=1971According to the EPA, household water leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons annually nationwide, that’s equal to the annual household water use of more than 11 million homes. And most of the causes of these leaks are worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets and other leaking valves, easily correctable and fixing them can save you about 10 percent on your water bills. So how do you detect a water leak? Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter doesn’t read exactly the same, you probably have a leak.

http://www.kink.fm/energy-efficiency-in-the-kitchen/#commentsWed, 25 Mar 2015 13:52:35 +0000http://www.kink.fm/?p=1969When you’re preparing a meal, do you stop to think about the energy consumption that goes into it? Picking the right cooking method and tools can help reduce wasted energy and save you money. First, think about the cooking method. Are you using an entire oven to heat up a small item? Consider a toaster oven or stove top instead. For the stove top, choose the smallest pan appropriate for the job and invest in high quality cookware with sturdy bottoms. If you’re cooking in the oven, glass and ceramic are more efficient than metal, allowing you to cook food at lower temperatures in the same amount of time.

Angelina Jolie directs this true-life tale of Louis Zamperini, the Olympic track star who survived a plane crash in World War II, only to fight for his life against nature and eventually as a prisoner of war. Joel and Ethan Coen provide the script. Louis (Jack O’Connell) grows up a rough-hewn kid on the verge of becoming a full-on delinquent, until his brother starts training him to be a track star. Louis excels at the sport, and eventually represents America at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. During his training, he learns to become resilient and disciplined; his brother’s words of advice, “If you can take it, you can make it,” push him to overcome any adversity. He must live up to that adage under the most extreme circumstances after his plane is shot down during another bombing raid. He is stranded at sea for more than a month, only to be found by the Japanese and forced to endure constant physical abuse at the hands of sadistic prison-camp guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe (Japanese pop star Miyavi), who wants to break Louis’ indomitable spirit.
